Hi @jakedduck1
I've done some research and learned that patients with generalized seizures can indeed experience prodromes.
Perhaps you've had these warning signs but, since this concept is new to you, you haven't recognized them yet. I experienced the same situation—once I learned about prodromes, I began paying closer attention to my body's subtle signals. For me, they function as a kind of seizure sensitivity or pre-aura. This might be worth discussing with your doctor at your next appointment.
Here are some links on the Andrews-Reiter approach that you might find helpful:

I hope this also works for you!

I'm pleased you brought up learning to recognize your impending seizure signals. I read an article about it 6 months ago and have been able to recognize a signal on a few occasions early enough to get to a safe place, close my eyes and relax. Some of my seizures are minor and others are well, not so minor.
I've convinced myself that recognizing signals enables me to control my seizures. It doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong about being able to control my seizures. What is important it helps me stay positive and that's half the battle.

I believe I have forgotten to add this link; it is an interview with Dr. Donna Andrews.
